That's just sad looking. How is the insurance going to handle it? Keep us updated. I would want it classified as non-repairable and get the market value of the car. If the repair bill is too high, you might be able to do that.

Well after driving my e60 for over 4 years and never been involved in an accident till Saturday. Here's the story I was hit by a young female driver who was going the wrong way down a one way street and blew thru an intersection at speeds of at least 60+mph. SHe nailed the back passenger tire and spun me around in circles.
She was cited with 3 tickets and now i wait to hear the outcome of the repairs......

If insurance gives you any crap at fixing your car with OEM/Dinan parts, your back hurts and you need an MRI, CT scan... that will get their attention.
